BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide players worldwide with hope and empower them with the necessary knowledge and tools to help them take advantage of beneficial opportunities and therefore eliminate their individual debt through the payment of individual or collective bills.

In various exemplary, non-limiting embodiments, the online bills payment games of the presently disclosed systems and/or methods (sometimes referred to herein as Jumungee) combines several important industries, such as, for example, advertisement, gaming, and finance, to create a new, disruptive technological industry that specializes in software. Jumungee provides many fascinating ways to allow players to play games and in the process win credit or cash payments that will be paid on a bill or several bills of the winner's choice. Although players will never receive cash payments directly, they will be taxed on the winning amount due to the fact they are receiving the benefit of having their bills paid. In various exemplary, nonlimiting embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure may provide players with a 1099-Miscellaneous (or other tax documentation) for other income, but depending on the monetary amount, if it is under $600.00, it may not be required.

In various exemplary, non-limiting embodiments, the online bills payment games of the presently disclosed systems and/or methods (sometimes referred to herein as Jumungee) provide anonymous players worldwide an opportunity to join a network within a designated country, empowering all with multiple and beneficial opportunities along with new tools that can improve their financial status by participating in online bill payment games, over the Internet. All winners will receive prizes in various cash, credit, or other representative payment amounts towards any designated bills of their choice. All players will connect to the website from the frontend (Client-side). All information from players will be encrypted and secured on the backend (Server-side). In various exemplary, nonlimiting embodiments, the backend is a collection of database servers that are programmed to disburse the information into individual tables in the designated database.

In certain exemplary, nonlimiting embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure offer at least 2 different types of games, advertisement in the form of a game (“Jumungee”), unlimited referrals, the top row (current information), and the right scoreboard column (additional information).

In certain exemplary embodiments, the 2 different types of games Jumungee provides are “Jumungee”, and “The Monthly High Score”. It should be appreciated that these names and game types are merely representative and should not be viewed as limiting the systems or methods of the present disclosure.

In various exemplary embodiments, players may optionally be offered a free membership (i.e., at the Limited level). Players may join and/or participate in at least 1 of 3 subscriptions or memberships.

With these 2 types of games, the systems and methods of the present disclosure will optionally offer at least 2 paid subscriptions or memberships (Plus, Unlimited). The Unlimited paid subscriptions or memberships will receive a subscription, membership ID #, UUID #, and/or referral code.

An exemplary game is “Jumungee”, it will have a prize amount that players are competing to win. Also, included is a game board that players will be asked several questions and once they complete the game board they will receive their winning prize credits. The systems and methods of the present disclosure will have four different categories and the questions will increase in difficulty as the players continue to answer them correctly. Also, we have incorporated a preparations section on our navigation bar. This area levels the playing field among players by allowing all players who want to take advantage and study upcoming game material before the games become active. We want to give all players time to learn the information so that everyone can be successful. A player's level (Limited, Plus or Unlimited) will determine how many games the player is allowed to play per day, weekly and/or monthly.

The second game illustrates an optional “The Monthly High Score”. All players will receive game points for the games they played. At the end of every month, the systems and methods of the present disclosure will add up all of the game points and the members with the highest score for that month will win a pre-determined amount of credits that are used to pay any bills of their choice.

In various exemplary embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure optionally include an unlimited referral program (URP). If included, the URP is a marketing and advertisement feature. The URP is a means for players that will become subscribers or members of the website at our Unlimited level. They can take advantage of the program and tell as many people as they know to join Jumungee and become a subscriber or member too. After the player pays for their subscription or membership, the member that referred them will receive 5% off their annual fee for each referral when they join.

Advertisement in the form of a game is a creative way for companies to market their products and services to our players. All games will be fun, exciting, educational, and will have a time period. This feature is also included in the “Jumungee” game.
